Imbibe Magazine

These days, when you hear the sound of a cork popping, there’s a good chance a bottle of Prosecco is nearby. According to the Prosecco DOC Consortium , more than 638.5 million bottles of the bubbly stuff were sold in 2022.

10 Things You Should Know About Mars Whisky

VinePair

Sometimes, a new sense of scenery can be transformative — as was the case with one of Japan’s oldest and most boundary-pushing whisky brands.

Book Review: Slow Drinks

Drinkhacker

The idea of “slow food” – embracing local and traditional foods over imported, processed, and speedy alternatives – has been at the forefront of modern cuisine for decades now. You’re probably more familiar with the “farm to table” concept, which is kind of the same thing, although sometimes the farm and the table can still be pretty far apart. Given the long history of “slow food” and the craft spirits movement that followed, it’s somewhat surprising that it took this long for us to get an offi
